Because it's a "Platinum Edition" set, and whenever you hear those words you know you're in for this process:

1) A heavily marked up boxset of old figures no one wants
2) Massive shelfwarming despite repeated sales
3) Only start moving when the clearance sales hit a year later

It was only 16$ because Target was closing down and heavily discounting products to move them out and make as much money as they could.

If I recall the two-pack in question was originally retailing around 30$ or something to that effect. I don't have exact figures because I bought it on sale.

Also, with our exchange rate affecting us so heavily it makes sense that everything has gone up to ludicrous pricing in most cases.

Picked up 2 of these

... haha, no! Who is buying these things at full price!?

As for the Target release, it was $16.99, but I got it the summer right before they announced the closures.
